That picture of Santorum and family looks like a still shot out of Arrested Development. It cracked me up.

― Earl Nash (earlnash), Thursday, 9 November 2006 02:17 (seventeen years ago) link

That Santorum shot ought to win a Pulitzer.

The wife, though: look at that little Cheneyesque snarl.

i couldn't think of anything for her to say :(

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 9 November 2006 02:40 (seventeen years ago) link

A "GRRRRRRR" would suffice.

Virginia was my hometown state! WOOHOO! That Republican guy he beat had been in the state's politics for what must have been at least 15 years. My dad worked in state government and used to complain about him back when I was too young to understand a lot of things.

If I had any energy, I'd make a gif of all their chins quivering, incl. the eagle and Pastor Ted.

Awesome, thanks for putting Hulk Hogan up there, Grady.

Lieberman to caucus with Dems, chair Homeland Security and Govt Affairs

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 9 November 2006 05:37 (seventeen years ago) link

If Morbius needs a reason to cry over Ford's loss: imagine how hard they could have fucked Lieberman if he wasn't required for the majority.

That would have been the third-most enjoyable thing about this election, after Rummy and Mr. Lube & Fecal Matter.

― milo z (mlp), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:32 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, so i was wrong and you were right re whether lieberman would stay a dem or jump to the GOP.

(i still don't like the dude, tho').

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:34 (seventeen years ago) link

there's still time for him to head EPA!

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:38 (seventeen years ago) link

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:38 (seventeen years ago) link

but I think he's a legislator and not going anywhere

and now that most of the people who elected him were independents and republicans he's going to feel a lot more beholden to them and less so to the Dems

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:47 (seventeen years ago) link

no surprises, then?

This shit's getting a bit long, Let's talk about your shiny new congress over here:

What's a Democratic Congress going to do?

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 9 November 2006 08:06 (seventeen years ago) link

y'know, i'd heard he was running, but i didn't know he won. John Hall won a House seat from NY.

Oh yeah, and if you didn't know, here's what got him mad enough to run:

In the final days of the 2004 presidential campaign, Hall saw a clip from a Bush rally in Columbus, Ohio, aired on Lou Dobbs' CNN show and was appalled to hear "Still the One" playing in the background at the event. His permission to use it had not been sought or given. After wide press coverage via the AP, the Bush campaign promised to cease and desist. So John Hall can make one claim most already-elected Democrats cannot: He got President Bush to back down at least once.

Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent said she received reports from both Jennings and Buchanan supporters that the machine did not register their vote for the 13th race.
She encouraged voters who had problems to report them to her office, but didn’t know what they would be able to do.

“After the fact, there’s not a lot we can do about it.”

You know, the Bush "assessment" conference really wasn't all that funny on TV. Musta been drunk w/ schadenfreude.

I also saw Rahm Emanuel (for the first time) on C-SPAN explaining specific districts' polling/ad team strategy for about 90 seconds, and my reaction (aside from boredom) was that gabbneb must be watching and climaxing.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 November 2006 14:38 (seventeen years ago) link

'DO you think I'm nuts?' 'Have I lost my sensibilities..., gregory?'

not funny?

I made a download out of the CSpan stream because I hate streams: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VAX23MZ0

so G.Allen is pondering a non-challenge so, under the cover of 'magnanimity,' he can run again at the earliest convenience with minimal soreloserness?
